ComradeMolotov:

Allthe workers of the Party’s centre and I myself knew
Suren Spandaryan in 1908 and 1909. He was a very
valuable and prominent worker. Stasova and possibly the
Caucasians (perhaps Yenukidze as well) should know him.
Suren’s father was receiving our help in Paris in 1910 and
1911 at Suren’s
request.[1]

Ipropose to the C.C. Secretariat:

1)havethe enclosed letter
translated[2];

2)makeinquiries from Stasova and Yenukidze and others
who had known Suren and his father (if the Secretariat
should recognise the additional inquiry to be necessary);
inquire about dispatch to Tiflis;

3)authoriseBagotsky(Red Cross?) in Switzerland orKlyshkoin London to write to Suren’s father and give him
monetary help by reason of his being the father of a
prominent
revolutionary.[3]

Withcommunist greetings,Lenin
